A few spoken words,
That's all it took
To change the way I look
At my woven curse
Mind awakening,
My life shrouded in a lie
With a sigh, I now confide,
I'm not who I had believed
It all felt surreal,
I became numb
To my feelings,
Realizing they bring me nothing but pain
No more care left,
All I am is ruthless,
People might not understand
That they have to live life on their own terms
Lost, yet no longer will I hide
In hues of false pretense,
Losing the will to survive
In such an enigmatic world
Nothing hurts me anymore,
I know my worth
The need to please everyone
Is long gone
Why am I expected to be perfect?
When you yourself are not?
I'm far from it,
I'm only human after all
Call me disrespectful,
And rebellious all you want
No strings attached as,
I'm free from your cruel hands
I finally realize
This is my life,
No matter who you are,
You don't control me
I will be selfish,
If it means being happy
And not feeling useless,
For once in my life
I start to feel like myself
After being shrouded in the shadows for long,
I am no longer tethered,
And am ready to face the world now
